…Or it is doomed to crawl under the prehistoric rock from whence it came. Here’s the skinny from this doomsayer site:
XFL, the football league owned by the WWF and NBC, officially has the lowest ratings of any prime-time network television show, since they started calculating ratings. The only thing that that comes close was some special about drug policy in the 80’s on ABC. go vince.
That’s a shame. Perhaps we could offer some suggestions to improve the appeal of the game.
I have a revolutionary suggestion to make. Mr. MacMahon, what the XFL needs is…
BLOOD!
Fake blood, of course, because it is cheaper than the real thing and you can spill far, far more of it. Every pad and helmet should come with a blood pack that bursts on contact. New packs must be added to at least three players every commercial break.
Won’t it be excellent so see two lines of undersized, amateur warriors crash together in a red mist? Let’s go one step farther and spatter the cheerleaders too, so we can watch beautiful red rivulets course into augmented cleavage. Blood is a guaranteed ratings booster. The people will love it!
Anyone else have good ideas to prop up this stumbling giant?
